Spime
A sci-fi neologism of a sci fi writer Bruce Sterling. No evidence of any serious usage beyond Sterling's writings and some blogs. Laudak 00:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Selective merge and redirect to Bruce Sterling. No in-depth coverage, but wide enough coverage per Google news search that it's sensible someone would be searching for the term on here. ~Eliz81 01:15, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: What exactly you mean by "google news coverage". In my google 4 news: one hit for Sterling's and 3 hits for a "Spime, Inc." of dubious notability. Laudak 01:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- This is the search I ran. ~Eliz81 05:11, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Did you care to look thru this short list terminated in 2006? It was a blip, sizzled. Laudak (talk) 04:39, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

- Keep - it looks like there's enough coverage on Google News and other sources to establish notability. Snigbrook 03:12, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete: Per NEO, and notability (4 hits ain't going to cut it). - Rjd0060 05:20, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

- keep widespread coverage, particularly in the academic/design theory sphere Artw 05:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Obviously you didnt check this list: 50% are the typo for "spline", both in biology and maths :-) 30% are foreign langauge word with different meanings. Laudak (talk) 04:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per Artw; concept is widely utilized in the academic literature. Skomorokh 10:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Can non members vote? There's no question this term has gained acceptance beyond Sterling's writing in the theory of digital objects and physical computing.
- Keep Per Artw. PAW (talk) 22:48, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Darrik2 (talk) 23:43, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Worth noting that Sterling didn't coin the term in his capacity as a sci-fi author, but for a design class he was teaching. It's since spread well beyond him, as others have noted above. Poisonink (talk) 18:15, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
